467. May the Mind of Christ My Savior

1 May the mind of Christ my Savior
Live in me from day to day,
By his love and pow'r inspiring
All I do or say.

2 May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through his pow'r.

3 May the peace of God my Father
Rule my life in ev'rything,
That I may be calm to comfort
Sick and sorrowing.

4 May the love of Jesus fill me
As the waters fill the sea,
Him exalting, self abasing --
This is victory!

5 May I run the race before me,
Strong and brave to face the foe,
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go.

6 May his spirit live within me
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only him.
